 and previously staked-out positions attached to them, which are not identified.&nbsp; In that vein, many of the statements tend to be “battle slogans,” while others sound like idealistic, “milk and apple pie” statements but are really aligned with a particular
 position.&nbsp;&nbsp; The “spin” on these questions/statement makes me dizzy.&nbsp; Where are the questions stating the opposite positions in the affirmative (which would be consistent with good survey design, as I understand it)?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 aligned with a particular worldview.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 but I am no expert.&nbsp; If I were one, I probably would be even more concerned/dismayed.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

 constituent organizations where needed) before any kind of statement could be made.&nbsp; Accommodations for a minority view would probably need to be made as well…. &nbsp;The discussions up to this point have laid much groundwork, of course, but they certainly haven’t

 major decisions are taken. Whilst CCIA is in the perhaps unique position that three of our members are represented on the steering committee, I’m sure that’s not the case for the vast majority of industry here and I’m sure that even for us, it is necessary
 for us to go back to the whole membership before signing on to something as high-profile as this is. So, suggesting that the steering committee can commit on behalf of all stakeholders everywhere is simply a non-starter (and I don’t believe industry’s situation
 is unique, either).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
